It was the arrogance of the Blairites that led to Corbyn becoming Labour leader.

It is the arrogance of the Blairites that made them think we'd care that they resigned from the Shadow Cabinet.

We heard constant false rumours of a "purge" when Corbyn was elected, and yet he tolerated these ghosts at our feast for a whole year, giving them the opportunity to reconcile their differences and serve the interests of the British people.

And for a year, they have engaged in some of the most childish and puerile sniping I've seen outside of Northampton's goth scene.

Now they have purged themselves, and no one will miss them. The tragedy with most of them is that they won't quit the party and let the voters replace them with better Labour MPs.

Once I discovered what Blair was really like, I felt totally let down by politics. Jeremy Corbyn has given me hope again. I will NOT let the despicable people in the PLP dictate to us, the voters, supporters, members. It's time for a new politics of hope. Jeremy stands for a fairer Britain. The country is ready and the establishment won't like it. But we will fight. This matters.

Neil Kinnock lost two elections and ruined Labour at the same time. He ended up getting a peerage for the damage he caused. Yet his son went on Murnaghan on Sunday to whinge. As is his new found mateys are doing all over the media. This strikes me as the same sort of vile attempt to cause trouble as we saw in the 80's. We saw then masses of decent people expunged from Labour, pretty much the same as #LabourPurge which happened in the last Leadership election just months ago. All because a few MP's didn't like the support Jeremy was getting. The accusations then were largely politically, motivated in what was supposed to be a fair election. Fortunately Jeremy's support was so immense, that little trick didn't work. So MP's are trying for another go to circumvent members wishes. No wonder so many people left in droves in the 80s and 90's.

Jeremy has not lost one election! This is an affront to fair play, decency, and democracy. This while Labour members will foot the bills. However, Labour MP's will continue to waste our money , resources and time, on a petty whim. of jealousy. They continue to ridicule, and disparage him left right and centre, all against Labour Party rules. And yet the NEC stands by and does nothing, to stop the abuse of a legally elected leader. This in an allegedly fairest, and just political party.in the world. It really is quite disgraceful and stinks to high heaven!

The Labour Party needs every penny to fight a General Election which is imminent, and not be forced to use our membership fees in creating and maintaining an undemocratic leadership election on a whim of a few disgruntled has-beens, who didnt like Jeremy winning a legal; and democratic leadership election.

There should be an inquiry into the legalities of spending members membership fees on a leadership election which members voted on less than a year ago. Members will pay at some point, we always do. Its really quite preposterous dong so , when the party is claiming it has a funding shortfall. All whilst also sending members begging letters for us to contribute extra contributions and donations, for what appears to be of questionable veracity, if it is prepared to wast members money in this manner.

Sorry for the long post and any typos. My sight isn't great, and I do make errors.

I stand with Jeremy Corbyn and in solidarity with other party members, the nearly 60% who voted for him to be leader.

The Blairites and the PLP are a disgrace launching an assault on both Jeremy and the democratic process. I find myself ashamed of the self-serving actions of those who purport to be in the same party as me, creating disunity and division and placing their own interests of career progression, maintenance of the elite and the delusion that they know better than the members.The members ARE the party, not the PLP or a bunch of former shadow cabinet members who I would argue should be suspended from the party for bringing it in to disrepute.

They will not win the day but this diversion from the real opposition to the Tories is unnecessary, unhelpful and an affront to democracy.

There's no one else who's better to lead the Labour party , particularly in the aftermath of Brexit . For years Jeremy wanted us out of the EU and only in recent months changed his stance . He has a long history of knowing what it would mean in this event .
He listens to people , properly listens , he's honest ( which is extremely rare in a politician ) he doesn't confine himself to Westminster and has no strong ambition, his agenda is true .
He wants to help people but not for political advancement. He doesn't speak party lines and tells thing as he finds .
We need him more than ever and I am utterly beside my self to see members of the PLP go against him . No other MP has ever had such a devoted following. How stupid and what a let down to be causing this disruption when we need stability .

I feel ashamed at the actions of the MP's in my Labour Party
These MP's have showed little regard or little respect to the voters of this Party calling us rabble and rabid dogs
Jeremy Corbyn voted in 9 months ago had a huge mandate to be leader and they have just walked all over the mandate to deselect him
Jeremy is a brilliant leader and has done so many great things since he was selected . The membership raised beyond anyone's wildest dreams . He in the last by elections gained councils back and the London Mayors post. He also blocked some of the Tories motions which they would have inflicted on the poorer people of Britain. Jeremy Corbyn is my Leader as I was one of them that placed my vote to put him there and I think he will make a brilliant PM.
I am a long term member and will not vote for any of the Blairites as my Leader so unfortunally my membership will cease to continue as I have lost all faith in my Labour Party and the PLP I also will not be voting in the next General Election without Jeremy Corbyn as my leader

I genuinely believe that the right wing of the party have been groomed by backroom corporate lobbyists. It is not in their interests to have democracy spoil their intentions. This is abundantly clear by the fact that this coup has been timed to take the focus off the Tories who are currently in meltdown! If these Labour right-whingers were genuinely concerned about winning a general election, then now would be the time to rally behind even an "unpopular" leader. A juggling cat could beat the Tories right now! Many people who voted in the referendum are feeling totally betrayed by the exit camp. Their next step would've been a 'protest vote' in Jeremy Corbyn's favour. And these backstabbing idiots would have carried on with their careers. But no. They would rather kill off the Labour Party. Why? Because some backroom lobbyist has wined and dined them and promised them the moon! Why else would they ignore the huge mandate that Corbyn commands and shoot themselves in the foot? Especially right now when the Tories are at their weakest? (Let's not forget that 29 seats are being investigated for electoral fraud!) This is not just petulance and stupidity. There's more afoot!

I agree; I voted for Jeremy Corbyn because I was sick and tired of the Labour Party trying to out Tory the Tories. I don't want another Tony Blair; I want a proper SOCIALIST Labour Party, one that stands against austerity , for public services , social housing , the NHS and equality for all. A party that will care about the poor, sick, disabled and disadvantaged. I am sickened by the back stabbing shown so far , shame on those who have behaved like this. They should remember that tomorrow it could happen to them , those who show no loyalty will receive none in turn. Instead of opposing the Tories they have allowed them ,once again,to 'get away with it'. I will vote for Jeremy again .What will those MP's who oppose him do then if he wins? And if he isn't the leader I can assure you I will part company with Labour , I put up with Blair and Co. but this has made me think do I want to deal with Blairites ?

I have written to my MP Bill Esterson and posted it on Facebook. I renewed my membership today but told him that my remaining and my future vote for Labour is dependent on Jeremy Corbyn remaining as our leader.

I am for Jeremy Corbyn, i wouldn't vote for a traitor. I hope they all crawl back under their rocks. We need a leader that is honest, not a backstabbing war mongering tory loving traitor to the Labour cause.

I know that Jeremy doesn't do criticism, so I won't say anything bad about those members of the PLP who voted against him today, but I'll be thinking it. Please stay strong because we need you Jeremy.

It is abundantly clear that the EU ref outcome is a red herring, an excuse to oust Jeremy Corbyn by those who have been gnashing their teeth & sharpening their knives ever since he was elected in September.

They blindly carry on with their bizzare claims he will make the party unelectable after they lost 2 general elections without him at the helm. This simple fact is completely lost on them.

Furthermore, to do all this at a time of great political upheaval & economic/constitutional crisis is at best foolhardy and at worst bordering on the criminal.

I wanted to remain a member of the EU, but the very reason people voted to leave is that they feel marginalised, voiceless, let down & forgotten by the political elite of all sides of the spectrum. Jeremy Corbyn's huge majority mandate to lead the Labour Party may just have come about for the very same reasons.

I just joined the Labour Party to support Jeremy Corbyn. Not only is he a decent politician who believes in democracy, but he is the only one prepared to stand up to the right wing fascism that is destroying the UK. Control of politicians to maintain those in power stay in power, and control of media to ensure that any dissenting voice is ridiculed is fascism, not democracy. We stand at a cross roads; if we allow the one voice of reason to be shouted down by the likes of Alistair Campbell, the UK has no future.

I rejoined the Labour Party last year to support Jeremy Corbyn, I believe that only under his leadership will the party return to it's socialist principles. If there is another leadership contest I will vote for him again!

This rebellion seems well timed with the Chilcott Report. Coincidentally (?) everyone that has resigned also supported the Iraq War... Labour is bigger than one person, but I strongly suspect the PLP's chosen candidate will NOT represent what the majority of the membership wanted when they voted for their choice, and mine, last September.
